It'll be back up to 4 bucks a gallon by the end of this year, bank on it.

Aw, shucks.

But the riots all summer are ok, right?

Show me where I have ever condoned the riots & violence from this summer, please. In fact, I have said on this forum multiple times that it wasn't right, but I can't say I'm surprised you've ignored that.

your ignorance is enough to validate promoting violence.....the question becomes, can ewe'r little biatch ass dance?!!!

She's done a lot of shuckin and jivin since the election. But then they all have.

Protests are fine. Violence is not.

What about violent protests?
We have those aplenty all summer in cities all over the US.

Not okay.

I just feel a little differently when people are trying to destroy the US Capitol vs a Target. Maybe I just love America too much. IDK.

How about trying to break down the door of the SC to stop the confirmation of a justice? The media and the left have swept that under the rug.

Also, my wife is letting me buy more ammo and is letting me teach her how to shoot my AR and handgun.

Glad I don't have a wife then, I don't much like sharing ammo.

Did anyone die? (insert Ken Jeong meme) How much destruction? A sit in is one thing, violence or destruction of government property is another.

1. They weren't trying to destroy the Capitol.
2. They weren't out there to steal stuff.
3. They were destroying people's lives and putting normal people at risk, not the elite.

I love Americans. The government is not America. "We the people" are.

1.) They dedicated and urinated in the Capitol. Destroyed offices, broke doors and windows. If that's not trying then what is?
2.) They stole laptops, signs, podiums. That's all on video.
3.) The elite are people too. They tried to kill Mike Pence.

The government is America. It's a direct reflection of America.

wow. the Dishonesty has become rampant.

Moronic. The gas stations around me have raised their gas prices $.30 in one day frequently for the last 10 years or more. Then it gradually goes down and they raise it back up another $.30.

Presidents do next to nothing to effect the price of gas...it's based on a global supply and demand market and speculation.

Jimmy Carter endorses this post.

You are literally an idiot.

Show me where I have ever condoned the riots & violence from this summer, please. In fact, I have said on this forum multiple times that it wasn't right, but I can't say I'm surprised you've ignored that.

That said, comparing tearing up a Target to attempting to forcefully hinder the completion of US law by storming the Capitol and attempting to harm elected officials is a non-starter. It's simply another level entirely. Sedition vs. vandalism & theft.

Please show us where you've condemned it. I'm here a lot and I've never seen you condemn BLM or antifa one time.

And there you go with that Target bullshite again as if you can minimize and condense the lefts actions down to one event. You are conveniently ignoring numerous attacks on federal facilities resulting in injuries and even death at the hands of your sides violent mobs. Why is that? Don't answer, we already know why. Such hypocrisy, I thought you were better than that...

I have condemned the violence during the protests that happened nationwide multiple times. Use your search function.

No one is trying to minimize any of the protests that have happened re: BLM protests - it simply is in no way a fair comparison to trying to stop a constitutional process with violence, period. It is property damage & vandalism (yes, involving some state/local gov't property) vs. sedition.

People have died in both, which is a terrible shame. Certainly we can agree on that as well.

No drastic changes. I am looking into what to do with my retirement accounts though.
